I wish I could agree, but from the UK to Germany to Australia to South Africa, not insignificant amounts of people have taken a look at the USA and gone "I want some of that too". At least Americans had the 'excuse' of thinking they were gonna get cheaper eggs or some shit. But the people who have had the advantage of watching this unfold from the outside and still want their own wannabe MAGA movements, are just trash with no excuse.
I think a 3rd of the world will celebrate, a 3rd will cry, and the other 3rd won't be able to tell the difference between the other two.
It was propaganda, and there's still a huge amount of social media propaganda to go around.
Any social media is vulnerable, particularly if it's anonymous.
